In 2009, Belle’s name rose to fame after she used her profile as a cancer survivor to build an international empire. She claimed that by eating a diet loaded with wholefoods, she was able to cure herself of terminal brain cancer.

This led Belle to publish the book The Whole Pantry, as well as a smartphone app that was based on natural therapies. Opening up exclusively told The Australian Women’s Weekly in 2015, Belle admitted she actually never had cancer.

"No. None of it's true,” she confessed.

"I don't want forgiveness. I just think [speaking out] was the responsible thing.”
